Graduate Los Angeles College of Optometry and Opthalmology THERE’S STILL A DEFICIT The first wholesale cutback in government spend- ing since the war's end is being prepared by the House Appropriations Committee, which has recom- mended the cancellation of a total of $52,153,535,000 in appropriations and authorizations for the present fiscal year. This does not embrace all possible economies in the operation of the Federal Government. In the main it entails only the reductions in Army and Navy expenditures which the end of the war has made possible. And while the amount is huge, it is not quite a third of the $170,000,000,000 originally allocated in the budget for the current fiscal year. That is a point to be underscored, inasmuch as the cutback in spending is being undertaken at a time when tax reduction is being so widely talked about. We wish to echo the warning of Chairman Cannon of the House Appropriations Committee that the cutback conly means “there will be just that much less deficit spending for the current year and the HARRI MACHINE SHOP Plumbing — Heating — 0il Burners HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES PHONE 319 MODERN ETIQUETTE “The Store for Men" SARIN’S Front St—Triangle Bldg.

It was severely criti- cized by Gen. Shabalin. The find- ings, he said, were “silly” and “childish.” “I would be ashamed,” he grunted, “to sign such a report.” Shabalin singled out particularly that part of the report which recommended seed, fertilizer and agricultural machinery for Ger- many. He also claimed that the report dealt too much in generali- ties rather than specific recom- mendations “I have been a farmer myself,” said the General, “and in 15 min- utes I could draw up recommenda- tions which would get to the real heart of the problem, instead of dealing in cheap generalities “Let’s go back to the Potsdam Agreement,” he said 1 outlined the basic fact that German agr culture is to be increased the expense of industry. Let's stick to that. The Potsdam Agreement is good enough for me Gen. William H. Draper, the American delegate, then moved that the report be sent back to the agricultural sub-committee with a recommendation that the whole re- port be re-submitted within 30 days. E * % RUSSIAN NOT SYMPATHETIC French Delegate Sergent next raised the question of importing oil into Germany from Russia. This had been recommended by the U. S. Government, and carrying out this recommendation, Gen Draper turned to Gen. Shabalin | Mills backed him up, | or | mania and Hungary. need of oil was serious. Sir Percy suggesting | that Russia might either borrow buy the oil from Austria, Ru- Gen. Shabalin, however, was not sympathetic. “I was not at Potsdam,” he re- plied, “and don't know from per- sonal knowledge what was decided there. Also I don’t know how much oil Austria, Hungary and Rumania have to export. 1 “I must further remind you that these countries have their own governments, and Austria and Hun- gary their own control council.” The then Russian General ex- pressed great amazement at the ingenuity of Gen. Draper. “The American delegate,” he said, “wants Russia to pay with oil for 15 per cent of reparations which the Russians are supposed to re- ceive under the Potsdam Agree-| ment.” | Looking at Draper, a former partner in the Wall Street firm of Dillon Reed, the Russian continued: ! “Tell me, General, how much has the Soviet Union received in repa- rations? As far as I know we have| not received a single, solitary cent. So when we have not received any- thing from Germany why should| we send good money after bad, by | now supplying Germany with oil? Since the Soviet doesn’t know when the Soviet will get anything from | reparations, why shouldn't Ger-| many in the meantime try to help| herself? | “For instance, Germany makes| excellent Diesel oil and benzine,” balin went on. “Why shouldn't | the German production be in- creased? Why should Russia borrow | from neighboring countries in-, stead? | Gen. Draper then called upon Sir Percy to supply the figures on; Germany oil production, which showed a deficit for the coming year 1946 of about 727,000 tons. Briefly scribbling on a piece of paper, Gen. Shabalin estimated that the British and American governments wanted Russia to| supply 7,000 tons of oil per day. “If we are able to do this,” he asked, “will the British and Ameri- cafl governments help us find the transportation? The Soviet Union has neither the rail nor water isportation to perform this In the case 01 uil for the French delegate Germany, strongly sup- and the United |ed the Red General. and asked his government to ap- | ported Britain proach Austria, Hungary and Ru-|States.

He first submitted the report of the committee on war potential which was a compromise view, and1 asked that the Allied representa- tives comment on it. Gen. Shabalin immediately commented that the report was meaningless and the Potsdam Agreement provided for the complete destruction of all German chemical warfare facilities. “Personally, I would suggest that the control start immediately to burn, destroy or sink all Nazi means of chemical warfare,” grunt- Crossword Puzzle .
